| Rex Humbard (1919-2007)
Rex Humbard, one of the original Pentecostal TV preachers from the 1940s and 1950s, has died at 88.
From the obituary in the Los Angeles Times: Elvis Presley, whose popularity precluded regular churchgoing, called Humbard "his preacher" and often gathered his backup singers to watch broadcasts with him, the ministry's statement said. When Presley died in 1977, Humbard spoke at his funeral.
